Therapists in Washington

My name is Cassandra Nolan, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. I enjoy working with individuals and couples of various age groups, backgrounds, and identities. I work with people who attend therapy for various reasons including depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, trauma, family concerns, stress, and life changes. I work through a systemic lens and integrate attachment work with techniques from various theoretical models. My goal is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to identify and confront patterns in their lives that are not serving them.

We will not try to make you do what somebody else wants you to do. We start with your goals & find ways to help you develop the necessary skills. We have found that, if a person's individual wishes are not represented in the solution, it will not work in the long run. So there is a strong emphasis on helping each person take responsibility and control over their own happiness. Some things are better handled individually, and some things are better handled with both people in the room. Our unique blend of individual & couples therapy is quite effective.

Chaise Marie Gies, M.S., SUDP-T, LMHCA(c), has worked in the psychology and forensic field for several years. She has a master’s degree in forensic psychology, along with a specialized license in substance use disorders and an associate candidate as a mental health counselor. Chaise draws on several theoretical orientations (e.g., Rogerian, Cognitive Behavioral, Family Systems, etc.) in her counseling practice at NW Family.

I render counseling services that range from group therapy sessions to couples' sessions. You can also see me for family therapy sessions, individual sessions, intakes, and/or psychoeducation courses for a variety of mental health issues. Just to name a few!

Dr. Look provides individual, family and group psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults. Sometimes, it is difficult to talk to our family or friends about our problems. Meeting with Dr. Janet can help you to assess the seriousness of a problem and the best way to cope with it. Dr. Look is trained in assessment and psychotherapeutic techniques that can help you to answer your questions and manage your problems. You will learn to develop an individualized plan based on your strengths for dealing with your personal, educational and occupational needs.

I enjoy working with individuals age 15 and older as well as couples and families. My style of counseling is an integrative one, combining humor, education, and interventions encompassing a broad range of therapeutic approaches. My experience includes a strong background in mental health and addiction counseling. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness based practices. I bring with me an array of life experiences working and traveling abroad. I believe change can happen in a few focused sessions. Therapy does not necessarily have to be long term to be effective.

Welcome to Jaeden Roberts Counseling & Alternative Therapies. I work with adults and children, providing individual & family sessions, as well as teaching classes. My approach is holistic, and I see my role as helping clients cultivate their natural strengths and capacities for healing, gain skills/tools to address problematic dynamics and stressors, and address and resolve past trauma. I believe wholeheartedly in the connection between body and mind, and I work to ensure that healing takes place at all levels. All services are strictly confidential, of course. Some sessions available online (via Facetime or email), based on your needs/preference.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have been trained in a variety of modalities and look forward to coming alongside you and joining you in your journey. I will do my best to cultivate a safe and trusting environment while paying close attention to your areas of strength and areas of desired growth and improvement. Each individual, couple, and family, is unique, and I will strive to provide a secure and nonjudgmental therapeutic space while working towards helping you meet your goals.

I have been a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist for 34 years and helping heal families in my private practice for 24. I specialize in many areas such as child abuse, domestic violence, adoption and infertility related issues, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, communication training and fair fighting techniques. Many clients come for short, solution focused therapy. I welcome everyone, despite gender, age, ethnicity, religion or sexual preference. My goal is to make the client feel welcome from the moment they arrive, until the time they leave with information that can immediately make a difference in their life.

My ideal clients are couples who are highly motivated to heal their marital bond, and who will risk making themselves emotionally vulnerable to each other in order to "get unstuck" and heal. When I meet with individuals, those who benefit the most from my services are likewise heavily motivated to change unhealthy patterns, who come to each session with specific goals and who have an obvious desire to do whatever is necessary to accomplish these goals.

Are you in a relationship that is lacking connection or trust? Are you struggling with sexual concerns in your relationship(s)? Are you an adult who is dealing with conflict in your own family of origin, even though you left home long ago? I can help. I work with intimate relationships and adult individuals in my practice. We focus on healing past hurts and moving forward to achieve a more fulfilling sense of self, connection, and communication.

The most rewarding and fulfilling times in our lives are the times when we feel respected, connected and heard. Often, we feel that our efforts fall short or we are just unable to communicate our desired intentions, either at work or in our personal or family relationships. Sometimes, we need the help of a professional therapist to improve our self-esteem, become more effective communicators or enhance our relationship dynamics. Ms. Benson specializes in helping her clients achieve understanding and mastery over their issues in a professional, comfortable and caring atmosphere.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Child Mental Health Specialist in Washington State. I counsel people ages two to hundred in aspects of their lives from creating a strong parent/infant bond to adolescent struggles to saying goodbye at life's end. I see individuals, children, adolescents, couples, and families.

Often the goal of therapy is for clients to develop the capacity to resolve personal problems with the support of a therapist. The clinicians at Counseling Services for Wellbeing work collaboratively with the clients to build on their existing strengths, enhance relationships, increase and procure a support system and obtain the necessary skills and tools to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. We strive to work in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, tailoring to each client’s individual needs and goals to help achieve the personal growth they are striving for.

Emotional pain distorts our view of the world. The longer our pain lasts, the more unhappy we become. Unlike a well meaning friend or relative, a therapist can consider your concerns from a fresh, objective, perspective. But a therapist will not solve your problems for you; he will guide you by listening, questioning and observing—- so that you can find your own answers when extreme unhappiness, overwhelming anxiety or fear, feelings of inadequacy and low self esteem, sexual problems, and traumatic events interfere with your life or relationships with others.

Are you feeling like you or your loved one should be getting more out of life than you have been? Sometimes we need a compassionate, objective person to help us sort out problems, regain perspective and enjoy life and our relationships again. It is important for you to feel a connection with your therapist and to sense that the therapist has your best interests at heart. I work from a solution-focused, experiential perspective, building on the power of the therapeutic relationship and clients' personal strengths to support lasting change while working with couples, families, individuals, and children.

My counseling practice is structured toward treating each person as individuals. When I treat people who struggle with eating and body image issues and related challenges with anxiety, depression and relationships, every person is treated with their own, individual needs in mind. Treatment modalities range from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mind-Body Therapy (MBCT), Energetic work using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Hypnotherapy and Subtle Energy work. Additionally, I provide individual, couples and family therapy for work-related support (including Career and Rehabilitation counseling) and troubled relationships.

Our extensive experience in mental health and marriage/family counseling enables us to offer effective outpatient, individualized, and psychological care. Our spectrum of care ranges from casual self exploration to more persistent mental health needs. We provide a neutral ground to individuals, families, and couples to support your treatment goals and healing.

I have worked with a broad base of clients and stay grounded in a trauma informed, person-centered approach. I work with both teens and adults. In my career as a therapist, I has worked with patients ranging in age from 6 years old to over 70 in a variety of environments. I see each of my patients as the expert of their own lives.
